Chapter 7: The Flower in the Shade and the Green Beans of March

  Eight

  Zhou Huijuan plopped herself down, her meal was brought by her family, so it's naturally better than others. She said gloomily, "Do you guys think there's something weird about school lately? Do you know the Revolutionary Party?"

  Shen Shuxian only cared about eating her own food and completely ignored her, while Zhou Huijuan only spoke to people she deemed worthy of talking to, and Shen was outside of that range. She simply perked up her ears to listen.

  Kang Mi's face changed slightly, and she picked up a piece of five-flower meat to examine it carefully. She said casually, "The atmosphere is particularly strange everywhere, not just in our school."

  Shen Shuxian felt that eating like this was meaningless, and she swept the chicken bones on the table into her bowl with her chopsticks. She gave Kang Miao a look and said, "I'm going back to my dorm first, I have a stomachache, excuse me."

  Zhou Huijuan smoothed her bangs and wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Don't mind her, let's talk."

  Kang MiMi neither disliked nor liked her, the two fathers occasionally met in business gatherings, but this person always wore colored glasses towards classmates from poor families.

  Kang Weiwei was on her way back to the dormitory, passing by the library, when she saw a familiar figure sitting on a wooden bench in the corner - Ning Xingguo.

  Because it was blocked by the screen, it didn't attract attention either. Walking over carefully, fortunately, there weren't many people in the library. Ning Xingguo saw Kang Mi coming over, his eyes seemed to light up for a moment, then dimmed again, and he said softly, "There's no other news."

  "It's nothing, they've all withdrawn." Kang Mi also looked around.

  The two sat down to chat, and Ning Xingguo said that he might still have to return to the army, but the timing was not yet ripe, and no one had come into contact with him. He thought that maybe after a few days, he would go back to his hometown to hide for a while, and did not want to implicate the school in this matter.

  Kang Mi has some reluctance to part with it.

  The sweetness that had just begun was about to be disrupted by the chaos of the world, and it didn't feel right in her heart. Those words of persuasion were spoken but then swallowed back, after all, they were each other's passing travelers. The country was not yet prosperous, what could they talk about? This was how young patriots were. Kang Miao didn't think so much, she just wanted to finish reading her book and follow him on his wanderings around the world. Ning Xingguo didn't want her to follow him, first because it would be a burden, second because he didn't want this delicate beauty of a young lady to suffer, otherwise he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

  After saying a few words, many students who had finished eating ran to the library to find books to read. The cold wind was blowing, and after the exam, they would be on vacation, but suddenly a sense of emptiness rose in their hearts. As they stood up to return to their dormitory, they moved their frozen lips up and down, "Let's tell our teacher when he leaves, let's have a farewell dinner."

  "It's still early." Ning Xing comforted, his hand moved slightly, probably wanting to hold hands, but afraid of being seen. It was unclear whether it was impulsiveness or love, men found it hard to distinguish between the two.

  When I returned to the dormitory, Luo Xiaoyu was packing her suitcase. She would also return to Anhui during the winter vacation and take the train there. Since she wouldn't bring many clothes back, she was folding them slowly.

  Shen Shuxian blamed him, "Have you talked a lot with that woman? You're only coming back now."

  Kang MiMi slightly raised her chin towards the outside of the door, meaning "come out and talk".

  Looking down from the corridor, the wild grass around the playground is withered, and in the distance, the empty farmland in the afternoon has the fragrance of burnt wheat straw, as well as smoke that has been blown away by the wind. A few crows are listlessly perched on tree branches waiting for food.

  "Master is going to leave us." Kang Miao sighed.

  Shen Shuxian's heart sank, "I haven't even confessed yet, and he's leaving just like that."

  "What do you plan to do?" Shen Shuxian asked.

  "What else can he do, it seems like he can't even wait for me to graduate before going off to fight, no one knows what the future holds." Kang Xiao's optimistic personality once turned melancholic had a unique charm, who knew what Ning Xingguo thought in his heart.

  Shen Shuxian suddenly felt a little delighted, good, the two of you are separated like this. She also felt that she was vaguely proud and annoyed, if I went to persuade him to stay, he probably wouldn't leave.

  It turned out that the two of them had a false alarm, and since the last time the military came, the school had returned to calm. Zong Xiuyu heard that due to some changes in the Northeast, the government's focus on crackdowns had shifted, and even the streets were much calmer. The soldiers who used to search house by house had also been transferred elsewhere. With a relaxed mood, Zong Xiuyu invited Ning Xingguo to the principal's office after dinner.

  Zhou Huijuan happened to come out to wash her hands, nodded and asked the principal and teacher how they were doing. She was brushing some materials in the ink room. Zhou Huijuan is the school's student activity organization commissioner, according to Su Peiling teacher's request to prepare for printing some poems for students to appreciate during the winter break at the dispersal ceremony.

  Ning Xingguo and Zong Xiuyu's meeting this time was their first in-depth conversation, previously they didn't know that this young man's ambitions were no less than any of the patriotic people he had met before, listening to him talk about the battlefield, it was a shocking and thrilling scene.

  Ning Xingguo spoke to the point of indignation, rolled up his sleeves, and on his hand was a large scar. "Mr. Cai said, who defends the pasture? Those who maintain justice. With you in common hatred, unwavering and unyielding. Strictly observe discipline, follow my strategy. Punish the guilty and comfort the people, righteousness is heard far and wide. You only need to use your life, and your merit will be great. If you disobey, you should be punished, how lamentable! I only regret that I was not born at the right time, and in the end, I ended up with such a fate."

  Zong Xiuyu nodded in approval, seemingly with a heavy heart, patted his shoulder, "Everything will be alright. Mr. Song went to Beijing for the reconciliation of the North and South, hoping to work together to defend against foreign humiliation. His kind intentions were misunderstood, but he ended up with an unjust death. The traitors who stole the country signed an illegal 'loan' without the consent of the National Assembly, which included conditions that were extremely harsh, humiliating, and damaging to the country's sovereignty, such as selling out the country's economic lifeline and allowing foreigners to interfere in administrative and financial matters. Thinking about this, my heart is trembling."

  Ning Xingguo clenched his fists, "Only fighting! Fighting can solve everything, but there are still people who don't work together in harmony, that's why we have conversations like this."

  Zong Xiuyu looked out at the lights outside the window and took a deep breath, "It will be soon, this day is coming. We will definitely win!"

  Ning Xingguo looked at Zong Xiuyu and felt that she was intentionally hiding something.

  However, Ning Xingguo also kept the part about watching movies with Kang Mi and having a secret meeting in the backyard. If he said it out loud, the principal would definitely blame him, saying that he wasn't called to avoid trouble but to flirt with female students instead.

  When Zong Xiu Yu finally let him return to class, the girls in the class applauded enthusiastically. They didn't ask their teacher why he hadn't been coming to class recently; as long as they saw him standing on the podium, everyone was very happy, especially Kang Mi Mi, who felt extremely proud that the person she liked was so well-liked by others.

  Kang Weiwei put the note between the pages of her textbook.
